Pax Joins Jolie-Pitt Clan

16. People who make negative comments about Angelina not adopting from the US need to stop the bitching. Do you even know how hard it is to adopt in the US? Do you know how stressful the process is? The amount of money and time that is required?

17. Its probably a good thing she changed his name to Pax... it will shorten the amount of lettering need on his RX for paxil.... hes gonna need it once he gets thrown into the life of the photogs and flashbulbs surrounding him constantly once he gets to the states. Everywhere he goes with his mom and dad he is gonna be rushed by these guys.... how scary that must be for a small child.

19. I think it is terrible...these type of people complain about our government but yet they are no better. I don't watch O , Jolie, Madonna etc. America could have used 2 mil at there adoption agencys. They all dont give a ...... about America then they should not live here either. If all of the STARS would just look at the ones in New Orleans that probally have not any family, and need adotion. but no...I feel they know they wouldn't be able to adopt. Normal people have to wait and thats what they should have to do....its TERRIBLE...

20. The child is THREE! Three year olds KNOW their name. You do NOT change the first name of a child this age EVER. What a selfish Bitch! His name NEVER should have been changed. Angelina is a moron.

21. All this little boy had was his name - and now someone has come along and changed it over night. Angelina should have consulted with a specialist before deciding to do this. Not only will he be in a completely different environment from one day to another, but he won' t even have his name to identify and reassure himself. This is just sickening. I for one, can't understand that people in america look up and admire these loonies. Something is incredibly wrong with this society.

22. She makes me sick! They need to worry about the children they already have! Is she trying to fill a void in her life by having all of these children? Shiloh isn't even a year old! Zahara is never smiling in any of the pictures and Jolie is stick thin (anorexic). I feel they should have waited a a little while longer. Too much too soon is rough for the little ones. Why not adopt ovewr in the US? I'm not really a huge fan of hers. She has her priorities all screwed up. If her family is so important to her, why not try to reconcile with you heartbroken father? She's in it for making her image look good...ALL ABOUT HERSELF!

23. First off, TMZ does not accurately report facts. Vietnam can approve an adoption in as little as one month for any parent that passes the background and support requirements. Also a family friend adopted from asia and they are not as rich as Jolie and they were able to get it done in less than six months. Secondly, if she did pay, who the hell cares?? If you had the money you'd do it too and if you say you wouldn't then you're a liar and a hypocrite. Thirdly I'm really tired of hearing people blast anyone for adopting from third world countries. As an American adoptee, I can tell you American children are the best cared for in the world. The kids she's adopting are stuck in overrun orphanages that have food and bed shortages, they don't go to school and the statistic for those who die waiting to be adopted is atrocious. We do not have these problems here. Not to mention 75% kids who are waiting to be "adopted" are not not even adoptable because they still have parents who cannot care for them and are unwilling to give them up.

24. Oh and by the way, Angelina started the adopted process shortly after Shiloh was born, since you can't keep track of time, Cheryl, that's more than a week.

25. I would like to know does Angelina know that there are orphanages in the USA? Ther are plenty of unwanted children and homeless children in the USA that need or would want to be part of a family also. I think what she does for these children is great, but I also think she should think of the country that made it possible for her to do what she does today

26. Everyone is making it seem as though Brad Pitt isn't involved in the adoption of this little boy. In Vietnam, only married couples and heterosexual singles are allowed to adopt.

27. Well, who cares how stressful it is here...it is still OUR country, and I think helping at home is something that needs to be done. I like knowing that there is another child that has a chance now thanks to her...but you know, im not jumping on the "Saint Angelina" bandwagon.
I agree with a lot of the posts on here. No, she shouldn't have changed his name, and yes...she has that addictive thing going on.
im just tired of her. She needs to spend a little more time with the children she has and show them she loves them too.
Hopefully little Shiloh will never see the article where her mommy called her a "blob" and said she wasn't as "special" as maddox and zahara because she hasn't had to overcome obstacles.

28. Glenda, you and many like you are entitled to your opinions. No matter, how ignorant, or negative, or meanspirited....freedom of speech, yada,yada..

What planet are you from that Pax Thien is a designer name? How's that taking away the child identity? Your name is not your identity, it's how people will address you. It'll be hard for him to communicate with his new family, and not because of his name you idiots. I think Pax Thien is a beautiful name Asian inspired name.

I'm still amazed at the jealously that many feel for Ms. Jolie. Here's a woman who doesn't have to do anything but make movies, sleep,party, and shop like so many empty/shallow Hollywood celebrities. Instead she donates her time and her money to make a world she has witnessed first hand a better place. How can anybody with peace and love in their hearts not see what Ms.jolie is doing as a beautiful thing.

She's not the calculating publicity whores that are Madonna or Tom Cruise. This is a fascinating that many people naturally want to know more about, the media doesn't have to force her down our throats; we want to know that she and Brad are happy, that the kids are happy and healthy. Many of us just wish them well.

Some have even said, why so many kids? Why not? I suspect they want the children to actually grow up and share family experiences together.

Brad & Angelina, God bless you both and the four beautiful children who will no doubt benefit from the love and security you give them, and the love you have for each other.

Won't the ignoramouses be outraged when they realize you're not done adopting. You told Diane Sawyer you would adopt an Asian child so Maddox has a sibling that resembles him, and an African child so Zee also has someone to look to and see a part of herself. As a Caucasian child Shiloh, as you explained has you and Brad.

I think you've done your research, you want the blended family, but you also realize that children should know/understand and be proud of where they came from and to also respect the race that bore them.

Your exceptional physical beauty will eventually fade, but the beauty and gift you've given your children will live on...

Ms. Jolie, is an extraodinary person; I'm so pleased to see that she is no longer the lost young woman she was in her 20's, she has grown up and found a purpose larger than herself and Hollywood.
I laugh and the bitter people who can't grasp what she has done with her life in the last six years.
Get over the Jennifer Anniston thing people; she shot herself in the foot, Ms. Jolie didn't pull the trigger.

29. I have a friend who has been struggling for over a year to adopt a child from a foreign country and Angelina just gets to buy one because she's famous? I'm sorry, but after the horrific things she said about her beautiful daughter (not the blob thing, the fact that she has trouble meeting her basic needs because she is so priviledged and that she loves her adopted kids more and Brad "knocked her up" and she never wanted to be pregnant) she shouldn't go around buying more kids just so maddox can have someone to play with. Here's a thought: SEND HIM TO SCHOOL! I think Maddox has had his whole life ripped away from him in the last two years. He's got a new Daddy, two new sisters, a new home, and now a new brother. That's a lot of transition. I get wanting a big family but why not wait until the kids are adjusted to the last transition?

30. Jana, don't you think Angie has the money and the time to consider adopting a child from the US? Adopting overseas keeps her in the press, DUH.

Iowa Girl, you rock!!! She never wanted bio children. She had Shiloh to keep Brad happy.

And to who ever said that Angie only adopts the cute kid; have you taken a good look at Zahara?
